Student used art form to bond with locals in quake-struck Nepal

Yu Zhehao, a student majoring in journalism at Southwest University of Political Science and Law in Chongqing, seldom used his high-tech camera until he visited Nepal in February to take photos of earthquake victims.

"I didn't have much interest in photography," he said. "I hadn't figured out the purpose of it, but I think I found the answer in Nepal."

During his 15-day trip to Kathmandu, capital of the South Asian country, Yu took pictures of 96 children and 76 families at the Chuchepati relocation camp, which was built for the survivors of a devastating magnitude 8.1 earthquake that struck the nation on April 25, 2015.

Many photographers had visited Nepal to take pictures of the locals, but few bothered to let the subjects see the images they captured. So Yu decided to print all the pictures he took and give them as gifts.

"Most of them had never seen a camera or had a photo of their own," said the 25-year-old, who was born in Changzhou, Jiangsu province.

"For the earthquake victims to have a family photo is a special blessing. In China, we believe a family photo brings luck and happiness."

When Yu learned about the camp in Nepal, he knew he had to visit. He decided to go alone, packing his camera along with a tripod, a flash, two lenses, a portable photo-printer and 360 sheets of photo paper.

It was his first trip to Nepal, but he did not have time to visit any scenic spots. Instead, he stayed at a hotel in downtown Kathmandu and visited the camp every day.

As the adults worked during the day, he could only shoot family photos in the evening. During the day, he took pictures of the children at the camp.

"Nepalese people are very friendly and I was warmly welcomed at the camp, especially by the children," he said. "They were so happy to see the photos that I printed out for them."

Yu soon set up a small volunteer team of six children to help him with his family photo project. Some carried equipment, some used cellphones to light the road and others coordinated with the families.
